Trusted bath resealing in Bell Busk

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Bath resealing in Bell Busk, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Bell Busk

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Bell Busk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

Common problems we fix in Bell Busk

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Bell Busk contact us are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bell Busk questions

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bell Busk?

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
